Get this crazy baby off my head! 4.10.11. Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade - Live Frogs Sets 1 & 2 - 2001 - Prawn Song. Live Frogs Set 1 is a live album by Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, released by Prawn Song Records on 10 April 2001. It chronicles the first part of the 8 October 2000 show the Frog Brigade played at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, the second part released as Live Frogs Set 2. It is primarily composed of originals by the various side projects of Claypool and his fellow band members, sandwiched by two covers. Featuring legendary bassist Les Claypool, original Primus (and later, Sausage) members Todd Huth and Jay Lane, Jeff Chimenti on keyboards, Eenor ("the world's first guitar playing redwood tree") on guitar, and saxophonist Skerik, this jam album does not completely revolve around the bass of Claypool. The seven song set, featuring the Pink Floyd classic "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", keeps the jam session going for at least 5 minutes a song, rotating solos between Claypool, Huth, Chimenti, Eenor and Skerik. This album was the winner of the Best Live Album at the Second Annual Jammy Awards show in 2001. Live Frogs Set 2 is the second set of live recordings by Les Claypool's Frog Brigade, released on July 24, 2001. The album is a complete performance of the Pink Floyd studio album Animals. It is introduced at the end of Live Frogs Set 1 as "more Pink Floyd than any human being should ever withstand", as the band's version of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" comes to an end. Taking a welcome break from Primus, this Les Claypool side project finds him reunited with Sausage bandmates and original Primus members Todd Huth (guitars) and Jay Lane (drums), but this time they've brought a few friends along for the ride. Keyboardist Jeff Chimenti, who's also in Ratdog with Lane, has played with jazz legends like Pharoah Sanders and James Moody; saxophonist Skerik has played with New Orleans funksters Galactic and world music experimentalists Tuatara; and guitarist Eenor was chosen by Claypool from submissions he received from musicians around the Bay Area after placing an ad in the paper. Together, they tackle an hour-long, seven-song set that's long on prog rock-style jamming and short on "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver"-like accessibility. As if to reinforce the prog connection, the group's live debut opens with a 14-minute cover of King Crimson's "Thela Hun Ginjeet" and closes with a 12-minute version of Pink Floyd's "Shine on You Crazy Diamond." The five songs sandwiched in between are expanded versions of Sausage and Holy Mackerel tunes, but with the additional instrumentation and extended noodling, only "Riddles Are Abound Tonight" sounds much like the original version. Even if your wankery tolerance is low, Claypool fans will enjoy hearing the ol' boy obviously having the time of his life jamming with some mighty fine musicians. It may not make you forget the brilliance of Sailing the Seas of Cheese, but Live Frogs should help you forget the blandness of The Brown Album. © Bret Love © 2011 Rovi Corporation.

If it takes serious chutzpa to play a legendary band's classic album live in its entirety, what type of cojones are required to record said performance and release it on your own label? That's precisely what the Flying Frogs' frontman Les Claypool has done with Live Frogs: Set 2, paying homage to Pink Floyd's dazzling (but underrated) 1977 conceptual epic, Animals. And although purists may bristle at the mere thought, it's actually not half- bad. Sure, it's a bit strange to hear Claypool's nasal twang tackling the pastoral balladry of "Pigs on the Wing," but when his crack ensemble launches into their sizzling version of the 14-minute "Dogs," all is soon forgiven. The sound stays surprisingly faithful to the original songs, making the album sound more like the work of a tribute band (albeit the greatest one since Phish covered Quadrophenia) than musicians best known for innovative bands like Primus, Ratdog, and Tuatara. But open-minded Floyd fans will realize that Claypool's imitation is the sincerest form of hero worship -- er, flattery. © Bret Love © 2011 Rovi Corporation.

Tracks 1-5 Set 2 are covers of songs from Pink Floyd's "Animals" album. N.B: Both these sets were released as two separate albums. Quirky and eccentric at times, with a few "madcap" vocals thrown in, but great musicianship on both discs, and HR by A.O.O.F.C . If you like King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, etc., you should find something here to interest you. It makes a change to hear Pink Floyd's great "Animals" re-interpreted. DSOTM has been covered to death at this stage ! Listen to Primus' extraordinary"Sailing the Seas of Cheese" album.

Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. Twas a magical night in the Warfield Theater. It's truly a great place, old-fashioned balconies and nice, airy atmosphere. I arrived late enough to catch the end of Boomshank and endure the B-Side Players. I purchased a Live Frogs CD, returned and saw a familiar-looking bald drummer toying with a drum-set onstage. Then, after half an hour, Les, clad in his customary antiquated military garb, odd hat, and joke glasses, took the stage with the brigade. It's going to be a good one tonight, he said. Just thought I'd let you know. He nodded at Eenor, and they hopped into Thela Hun Ginjeet, which stirred up a mosh pit, prompting Les to say I'm glad you're having fun, but respect the people around you, especially those of you in the mosh pit. Things died down, but every time he returned to the main bass line it started up again. He was a sight, bounding around with his tasseled epaulettes and the frills on his chest bobbing up and down. How does a thirty-seven year old man hop up and down for so long? Then Sgt. Pepper/A Little Help From My Friends keyboardist Jeff Chimenti filling in for absent saxophonist Skerik which is fast becoming their theme song. Jay Lane, who was sporting a bull/pig's mask sang A Little Help with altered lyrics such as, Are you sad because you're on your own/Fuck no! I get by with a little help from my friends. Ken Brooks played saxophone during Climbing Up the Ladder. Shattering Song: the second best song of the night. The bass was much clearer than the relatively muted sound from the album. During the heavy parts the mosh pit opened up so Les had to say Ya know, I see a couple of boneheads, and we don't want boneheads. Respect the people around you. This is the last time I'm going to say this. Brian Kehoe, (and it's rumored that MIRV himself is somewhere in the building) was introduced and proceeded to shred. 16 Shells From a Thirty Ought Six. Boring. But I knew what other song they would do on the upright, and that was Hendershot, which included a truly marvelous solo by Eenor, after which Les asked a bespectacled man Mr. Carney, I hear you know something about surf saxophone. Can you give us a sample well, more than a sample, how about a slab? The song ended with El Sobrante called him Hendershot. Berkeley called him Hendershot, and so forth. Hair, a Larry Graham song, had the most outrageous bass line. People did what may best be described as grooving; a gentleman called Houseman provided some vocals. I only same some' because Les stopped him in the middle with Hey Houseman, Houseman, Houseman, let me, let me tell you something: I say it's not fair to judge Houseman by the length of his hair.
